freewheel is less than a mile from me. i give them a 35 bucks every six months and I have access to all the tools I ever need, plus a bunch of awesome mechanics to answer all my dumb questions. Works well enough for me. plus refried bikes (another GREAT shop here in SF) is only 3 blocks from my house. I dont need the tools that bad. Between friends, freewheel, and refried I am covered.

I want to have a full tool and bike work set up eventually, but i have moved 3 times int he last 6 months due to messed up roomate situations, injury, and poverty. im in no rush. at the moment all i own is a wrench set and an allen set. *shrug*

it'll happen. just not there yet. im just another kid with a bike addiction.
